Figure 7-3 Typical separately synchronized segregated network
Configuring a single drive to act as both gateway and synchronization master will
increase the message loading on that drive, in some situations this may result in a
reduction of the network performance. In these situations, separate drives should be
used for the gateway and synchronization master.
For the gateway mode to operate correctly, the standard Ethernet network must be
connected to port 1 on the drive and the real-time Ethernet to port 2 as shown in Figure
7-3.
